|
An essential reference for northern gardeners, this edition contains new information on vegetables and fruit. Includes useful lists of appropriate species as well as information on landscaping, lawn care, and flowers. Northern gardeners face challenges that authors of most gardening books rarely confront-severe winters, unpredictable rainfall, alkaline soil, and short growing seasons. Gardening in the Upper Midwest has tips and advice to overcome these obstacles and more. All aspects of gardening in this region are discussed: vegetables and fruits, landscaping, lawn care, trees, shrubs, perennials, and annual flowers. Specific descriptions and useful lists of species hardy in northern climates are provided to help gardeners make appropriate plant selections. Leon C. Snyder (1908-1987) is also the author of Flowers for Northern Gardens and Trees and Shrubs for Northern Gardens. 320 pages | 8-page color photograph section, 19 line drawings | 2000 |
